Put alot into this dinner.

Glass.

Juice.

Damn summer flu! (or the "schools thread," can't figure out which).

melkor · July 2, 2003

Shepards pie, made with leftover smoked brisket, leftover garlic mashed potatoes, garlic, corn, peas, onions, chicken fat, stock, a bit of merlot, a bit of stock, a couple of smashed up garden tomatoes... Came out pretty well.

malachi · July 2, 2003

Took my own advice to heart and made brined, pounded thin-cut pork chops fried in a panko crust with onion-peach-sage marmalade. Very tasty.

Steamed artichokes with aoili on the side.

Unibroue La Fin du Monde in a Duvel glass for me, a nice half bottle of 1997 Felsina Chianti for my GF.

Xanthippe · July 2, 2003

Tomato water with basil oil.
Tiny baby white potatoes, double-fried, mixed with fresh-shelled peas (about the size of the potatoes), scallions, parsley, creme fraiche.
Slices of grilled ribsteak with chevre crumbled atop, much fleur de sel, guajillo chile oil around.
Plum tomato cups with fava puree and chopped Korean green chile kimchi inside.
Key lime granita.

Okay, I'm woefully behind in my thread reading, having just now caught up. I regret to learn of your gastrointestinal distress, paul o'; I regret having read of the Unfortunate Incident of the Toasted Mouse; however, I do not regret noting that the Key Lime granita is the closest thing to a dessert I've seen Jin prepare! I'm fair to swooning over this revelation . . .

suzilightning · July 2, 2003

used two new and one old recipe

baked halibut with sage butter

pasta salad with sundried tomatoes, minced shallots, organic tomatoes, salad peppers, and capers

green beans with sesame sauce

NeroW · July 2, 2003

At my best girlfriend's house for some sunning, toenail-painting, and talk.

Cooked up about 2 lbs. of tasty bacon that her boyfriend brought home from Up North.

Grilled a few thick slices of challah.

As-good-as-you-can-get-them-here-now tomatoes.

Lettuce.

Homemade mayo.

B.L.T.

And Bells Oberon. Naturally. :wink:

Sake-simmered Daikon

Nasu Dengaku (Eggplant broiled with miso)

Smoked Salmon

Steamed Baby Bok Choy

carswell · July 2, 2003

Canada Day outdoors with friends:

Seviche (wild striped bass, lime and grapefruit juice, thinly sliced red onion, cilantro and halved grape tomatoes) on mixed lettuces

Jerk chicken (used davidscooking's recipe, eG #314 -- excellent)

Grilled zucchini

Rice with red kidney beans

Pineapple and cherry clafoutis with coconut ice cream

Washed down with cava and a couple of rosés, the better of which was from Château Morgues de Grès (Costières-de-Nîmes). The hot jerk (three habaneros) went best with beer. Befitting the holiday, a late-harvest riesling from Ontario's Château des Charmes accompanied the dessert -- superfluous but the thought was nice (the wine, too).

Tomato Tart with Basil-Garlic Crust
Corn Salad
New Potato Salad w/Basil Mayonnaise

except for the corn salad that sounds incredibly like the dinner I have half prepared at the moment.
Is the tomato tart by chance from the Italian Vegetarian by Jack Bishop? I have that dough chilling at this very moment.
My potato salad has an arugula mayo instead of basil......
creepy

You're right on the source of the Tomato Tart. I love that recipe. As does everyone who eats it. -- we rarely have leftovers :sad:

guajolote · July 2, 2003

Braised Chicken w/ morel and red wine sauce

white rice

overcooked carrots :angry:

pink wine

Jinmyo · July 2, 2003

Rigatoni with a smoky raw plum tomato, black truffle, and parsley sauce. (Smoked onions were pureed and stained as part of the sauce.)

"Ceci-soisse" (creamed chickpea soup made with mire poix, chicken stock, etc) garnished with crushed toasted almonds and lemon zest.

Roasted yu choy and porcini mushrooms with balsmico and parmesan slivers.

Rack of lamb with rosemary, Dijon, and juniper berries.

Slaw of grated fennel and shaved poblano chiles with key lime vinaigrette.

edit:

Whoops. Soup was chilled.

Key lime granita

Slaw of grated fennel and shaved poblano chiles with key lime vinaigrette

Wonderful sounding menus, Jinmyo. But where in the Great White North do you find key limes? I've never seen the genuine article north of NYC, and there only rarely. The much ballyhooed Meyer lemons are equally scarce in my experience.

bloviatrix · July 2, 2003

Tonight it's:

Curried Pan-fried Talapia w/Mango Chutney

Coconut Rice

Maybe some melon for dessert

"Ceci-soisse" (creamed chickpea soup made with mire poix, chicken stock, etc) garnished with crushed toasted almonds and lemon zest.

Sounds great. Would you share the recipe? I'm always looking for more chickpea uses.

torakris · July 2, 2003

I have been in a cooking funk for the past week and dinners have been reflecting it.

We are in that last week before payday and have nothing in the house (except potatoes, onions, celery, nagaimo-mountain potato, and a molding head of cabbage)

Last night:

fusilli with carmelized onions and anchovies

red kidney beans and celery salad with about 10 cherry tomatoes from the garden

dessert:

popsicles

Malawry · July 3, 2003

Herb-crusted salmon over caramelized onions and sauteed spinach, with a peppery-raspberry sauce veloute

Three tomatoless pita pizzas: artichoke hearts and mozz, caramelized onions and parmegiano-reggiano, sauteed mushrooms and herbed goat cheese

The sauce was inspired by an IM conversation with Jason Perlow, who asked me if I make more sauces now that I've gone through culinary school than I did before enrolling. I don't, but I do know how. The sauce itself was all right but nothing special.

Jinmyo · July 3, 2003

carswell, I have four quarts of frozen key lime juice, portioned into about ice cube sizes. I'm very interested in the flavour.

bloviatrix, It's just a mire poix brought past a sweat in EVOO, season with kosher salt and white pepper, add chicken stock, bring to a good simmer, add tarragon and a few bayleafs tied inside leek greens. While letting cool down puree chickpeas. Remove herb bundle, puree stock and mire poix. Strain through a chinois. Strain chickpeas through a tammis. Combine, reheat. Add Dijon mustard, reduced sherry, salt and white pepper to taste.

The soup just be thin but velvety.

It's also a good foundation for serving grilled lamb or shrimp, raddichio or mushrooms. Or just some garlic croutons and a chevre cream with some lovage for a nice lunch.

Nice hot in winter, chilled in summer.

malachi · July 3, 2003

reverendtmac · July 3, 2003

Finally decided dinner should be more than a hot dog at the turn (even as wonderful as the dogs at my course are!), so last night my bro and I cooked; ground chuck burgers (bloody as hell) with carmelized onions, twice-baked oven fries and some salad to mop up the blood with.

Then I did what any good older brother would do - left him the dishes and got nine in :)

mcdowell · July 3, 2003

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, both smothered with a milk gravy; fried okra on the side.

Back home soul food.

paul o' vendange · July 3, 2003

Classic rabbit/duck terrine (rabbit reserved when I made rabbit roulade earlier this week), garnished with seared duck breast, shiitakes, and pistachios. Cooling now for tomorrow, with toast points and an orange-bourbon glaze.

Edited to reflect, that would be, er, shiitakes.

torakris · July 3, 2003

suzilightning · July 4, 2003
